THE PSALMS.
THE STRUCTURE OF THE BOOK AS A WHOLE.
1-150. THE FIVE BOOKS .
1-41. THE GENESIS BOOK :CONCERNING MAN. The counsels of God || concerning him. All blessing bound up in obedience (Cp. Psa_1:1 with Gen_1:28). Obedience is man''s "tree of life" (Cp. Psa_1:3 with Gen_2:16). Disobedience brought ruin (cp. Ps. 2 with Gen. 3). The ruin repaired only by the SON OF MAN in His atoning work as the seed of the woman (cp. Ps. 8 with Gen_3:15). The book concludes with a Benediction and double Amen.
42-72. THE EXODUS BOOK : CONCERNING ISRAEL AS A NATION. The counsels of God || concerning ISRAEL''S RUIN, ISRAEL''S REDEEMER, and ISRAEL''S REDEMPTION (Exo_15:13). Cp. Psa_68:4 with Exo_15:3, "JAH". It begins with Israel''s cry for deliverance, and ends with Israel''s king reigning over the redeemed nation. The book concludes with a Benediction and a double Amen.
73-89. THE LEVITICUS BOOK : CONCERNING THE SANCTUARY . The counsels of God || concerning the Sanctuary in its relation to man, and the Sanctuary in relation to Jehovah. The Sanctuary, Congregation, Assembly, or Zion, &c, referred to in nearly every Psalm. The book concludes with a Benediction and a double Amen.
90-106.
THE NUMBERS BOOK : CONCERNING ISRAEL AND THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH. The counsels of God || concerning the EARTH, showing that there is no hope or rest for the Earth apart from Jehovah. Its figures and similes are from this world as a wilderness (cp. the references to mountains, hills, floods, grass, trees, pestilence, &c.). It begins with the prayer of Moses (the Man of the Wilderness), Ps. 90, and closes with a rehearsal of ISRAEL''S rebellions in the wilderness (Ps. 106). Note "the New Song" for "all the earth" in Psa_96:11, where the theme is contained in one sentence which gives an Acrostic, spelling the word "Jehovah":"Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad" (see note on Psa_96:11). The book concludes with a Benediction and Amen, Hallelujah.
107-150.
THE DEUTERONOMY BOOK : CONCERNING GOD AND HIS WORD. The counsels of God concerning His Word, showing that all blessings for MAN (Book I), all blessings for ISRAEL (Book II), all blessings for the EARTH and the NATIONS (Book IV), are bound up with living on the words of God (Deu_8:3). Disobedience to Jehovah''s words was the source of MAN''S sorrows, ISRAEL''S dispersion, the SANCTUARY''S ruin, and EARTH''S miseries. Blessing is to come from that Word written on the heart (cp. Jer_31:33, Jer_31:34. Heb_8:10-12; Heb_8:10. Heb_8:16, Heb_8:17). Ps. 119 is in this book. The Living Word (Joh_1:1) began His ministry by quoting Deu_6:13, Deu_6:16; Deu_8:3; Deu_10:20 in Mat_4:4, Mat_4:7, Mat_4:10. The book begins with Psa_107:20, and in v. 20 we read, "He sent His WORD and healed them", and it concludes with five Psalms (one for each of the five books), each Psalm beginning and ending with "Hallelujah".
* Manuscript and Massoretic authorities, the Talmud ( Kiddushin ) as well as the ancient versions, divide the Psalms into five books. The Midrash on Psa_1:1 Says. "Moses gave to the Israelites the five books of the Law; and corresponding with these David gave them the five books of the Psalms."
The Structure of each Psalm being perfect in itself, we may well expect to find the same perfection in the arrangement of the five books respectively as well as of the one hundred and fifty Psalms as a whole. Many attempts have been made from ancient times to discover the reason for the classification of the Psalms under these five books; but none of them is so satisfactory as to preclude this further attempt.
It is certain that the present order in which we have the Psalms is the same as it was when they were in the hands of our Lord, and were quoted repeatedly by Him, and by the Holy Spirit through the Evangelists and Apostles. Indeed, in Act_13:33, the Holy Spirit by Paul expressly mentions "the second Psalm". This puts us upon sure ground.
There must be a reason therefore why "the second Psalm" is not (for example) the seventy-second; and why the ninetieth (which is the most ancient of all the Psalms, being a prayer of Moses) is not the first.
The similar endings to each book are noted above. There are in all seven "Amens", and twenty-four Hallelujahs. All the latter (except the four in Book IV) are in Book V.
For the relation of the five books of the Pentateuch to each other see Appdx-1.
For the relation of the five books of the Psalms to the Pentateuch, see above, and the Structures prefixed to each book. || For the Divine Names and Titles occurring in the Psalms see Appdx-63. V.

* For notes, see p. 722. Enemies Without. Sorrows Within.
* In the first Book of the Psalms the leading thought corresponds with that of the first Book of the Pentateuch. The counsels of God are shown from the beginning to the end in relation to MAN.
As Genesis begins with the Divine blessing on Man (Psa_1:28), so Psalm 1 opens with "Blessed is the man". All blessedness for man is shown to consist in subjection to, and occupation with, God''s Law. It is the Tree of Life to him; and, meditating on this, he becomes like a well-watered tree in the Paradise of God.
But, in Gen. 3, Man rebelled against that Law:and Ps. 2 describes the consequences of that rebellion; while Ps. 3 takes its title from one who rebelled against God''s King. The ruin can be repaired only by "THEMAN Christ Jesus" (the Seed of the woman, Gen_3:15):and in the Psalms of this first Book (the third section) we see Him in His atoning work, which alone sets man again in the blessedness which he had lost.
The first Book consists of forty-one Psalms. The central Psalm is 21, which sets forth the eternal life and blessedness of God''s King. All that have titles (37) are David''s the man of God''s choice.
Of the Divine Titles, Jehovah occurs 279 times, and Elohim only 48 times, 9 of which are joined with Jehovah. (See Appdx-4.) Note also the references to the events, &c, of Genesis in this first Book. (See Appdx-63. V.)
Pss. 1 and 2 are linked together by having no Titles; and by Ps. 1 opening, and Ps. 2 closing with "Blessed". The first or GENESIS book is divided into three sections, which (on p. 721) are stated thus:
1. The First (Pss. 1-8) concerning "MAN".
2. The Second (Pss. 9-15) concerning "THE MAN OF THE EARTH" (the Antichrist).
3. The Third (Pss. 16-41) concerning "THE MAN CHRIST JESUS''" (the Messiah).
Pss. 9 and 10 are linked together by having an irregular alphabet running acrostically through the two. The alphabet is broken and irregular, like the "times of trouble", "the great tribulation", of which they speak. || Ps. 16 is the first Mictam Psalm. The others are Ps. 56-60. See Appdx-65. xii.
Ps. 32 is the first Maschil Psalm, denoting instruction.
